SrI:
Further to my earlier note requesting Sri Rajagopalan of
Chennai to take over the responsibilites for creating the dhivya dEsam
trust , staffing it and adminstering it , I would like to share with you soem
thoughts on priorities for discussion purposes . More knowledgable
devotees are requested to refine it . AbhimAna sthalams are deliberately
left out in this count of 108 dhivya dEsams .
There are 40 ChOLa dEsams , 18 PaanDya Naadu sthalams ,
13 MalayALa dhivya dEsams , 2 Nadu Naadu ,, 22 ThoNDai Nadu,
12 Vada Nadu sthalams and 2 outside BhU Lokam ( THIRUPPARAMAPADHAM
AND THIRUPPAARKKADAL) .
That leaves us 106 dhivya dEsams .
We can stay away from dhivya desams , where
(A) things are fine (B) too far away for regular visits
(C) not necessary because these temples have their
own controls in place .
Let me elaborate :
A . Thirpaathis/ PrArTanA Sthalams and others ,
which are not in need :
1. Thirumala/Thiruppat hi 2. ThiruviNNagar/ Oppiliappan Koil
3-11. Nava Thiruppathis coverd by the TVS Family Trusts
12. Srirangam 13. ThiruvallikkENi 14. ThiruveLLUr
15. PuLLambhUthamkudi 16. AadhanUr 17 , Ahobilam
18. VaanamAmalai 19. Naathan Koil ( The last six are under
the care of Madaathipathis) .
19. ThirumOhUr 20. Koodal Azhagar 21. ThirumAlirumchOlai
22-34 . Thirteen MalayALa Naattu Thiruppathis , where Tantric
AarAdhanam takes place and are well cared for by NambhUdhris or
Potthi Brahmins .One can not go near these sannidhis unless
one has orthodox appearance .
35-44 : 12 Vada Naattu ThiruppathigaLs including Ahobilam
and Thirumala/Thiruppat hi .
45-46: Nadu Naattu Thiruppathis : ThirukkOvalUr ( HH Local Jeeyar
supervision) and Thiruvaheendhrapura m
47. Annan Koil or ThriuvellakkuLam seems to be well supported for
AarAdhanam .
48. Kaanchi Varadarajar Temple 49. Thirukkadan Mallai
( Popular Tourist route) 50. Thiruneermalai 51. Thirukkadigai
52. ThirukkaNNapuram 53. Thirunaahai 54. KaazhiccheerAma ViNNagaram
55.Thirucchitthirak kUdam ( Tillai) 56. NANDHIPURA VINNAGARAM
( Vaana MaamalaiKaliyan Jeeyar's Aadheenam) , (57) ThiruninRavoor
